Dredge pumps

The heart of the dredging challenge

We produce a wide range of centrifugal dredge pumps that are long proven to be highly successful in the transportation of abrasive mixtures. All pumps can be equipped with the latest Curve® technology.

Full range of dredge pumps to suit all needs

Robust and reliable

Up to twice the lifespan with Curve® technology

Custom-built designs

Hydraulic design optimised for dredging

Main features

Decades of experience in designing pumps combined with the latest technical developments, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and in-house testing facilities have resulted in a full range of dredge pumps to execute all dredging challenges. The latest innovation is Curve® technology – a significant leap forward in durability with its patented new impeller blades. In addition to this series, we also offer a complete JetSpecial® pump series, specifically designed for jet water application.

Types and applications

Our dredge pump types, ranging from conventional pumps and the high-efficiency series (low pressure, medium pressure, high pressure) to the CutterSpecial® (50% ball passage), are available in the following configurations:

easy execution – simple design for less demanding operations

single-walled – all-purpose dredge pump

Quazar® – can withstand extreme forces

double-walled – for the most demanding operations.

All configurations are available for onboard, inboard, submerged and booster applications, and with suction diameters ranging from 300 to 1,400mm.

In close cooperation with our customers, we have developed over 250 highly efficient custom-built TSHDs, as well as additional tailor-made solutions that provide support for the lifespan of your vessel.

The IHC Beagle® series combines the performance, ease of operation and reliability of a thoroughbred IHC product with our unique ability to provide support with crew training and a range of services. Therefore, the IHC Beagle® is a perfect combination of performance and assistance.

Their long track record proves that IHC's trailing suction pipe systems are able to excavate and transport a wide variety of soils in many different operating conditions from the seabed to the hopper in the most efficient way possible.
